Answer:

<em>You feel envious of older generations and wish you could buy a new car for $1,500. Because you are focusing on</em><em> </em><em><u>nominal</u></em><em> </em><em>dollar amounts rather than </em><em><u>real</u></em><em> dollar amounts, you are failing to recognize that the</em><em> </em><em><u>real</u></em><em> </em><em>price of your grandmother's car in today’s dollars would </em><em><u>greater than</u></em><em> </em><em>$1,500.</em>

Inflation makes the value of a currency i.e. the dollar, become less valuable overtime because it is eroding the currency's value. When a currency is adjusted for the effects of inflation, we see the real value of the currency but when it is not, this is the nominal value.

In the text above, the $1,500 is the nominal value in the past. If this value were to be adjusted for inflation in terms of today's dollars, it would show a greater amount than $1,500 because inflation has diminished the value of $1,500 such that it is not worth as much as it was worth in your grandmother's time.

The marginal benefit of another T-shirt this month to Mary is $15. If the $10 price of a T-shirt reflects its marginal cost to M
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

The marginal benefit of another T-shirt is $15. The price of the T-shirt is $10.  

The marginal cost is equal to the price, so it is also $10.  

The marginal benefit earned from the T-shirt is greater than the marginal cost incurred on a T-shirt.  

According to economic reasoning, it is profitable to buy another T-shirt. So, Mary will buy another T-shirt this month.

Gasoline and bicycles are complements in consumption. Suppose we increase the federal gasoline tax to $1 per gallon. What are th
dalvyx [7]

Answer: A

Explanation:

A complementary good is a product that is used together with another product. Without its complement, such a good will have little value. When there is increase in the price of a particular product, the demand of its complement reduces because consumers may not be able to use the complement on its own.

Complements have negative cross elasticity of demand i.e there is increase in the demand for a product when the price of its complement reduces. If bicycles and gasoline are complements, an increase in tax on gasoline will have a negative effect on the demand for bicycle. Due to the price increase of gasoline, less people will demand for bicycle. The initial change that will occur as a result of this is that as there is a price increase for gasoline, there will be a leftward shift in the demand for bicycle. This implies that less bicycle will be demanded for.

For the coming year, Cleves Company anticipates a unit selling price of $100, a unit variable cost of $60, and fixed costs of $4
Alexeev081 [22]

Solution :

1. The break even sales in units is given by :

   Break even sales in units = $\frac{\text{fixed cost}}{\text{contribution per unit}}$

Where, contribution per unit = selling price per unit - variable cost per unit

The anticipated break even sales in units of Cleaves company in the coming year is :

Break even sales in units = $\frac{480,000}{40}$

Contribution per unit = $ 100 - $ 60

                                   = $ 40

So the company anticipates its breakeven sales at 12,000 units.

2. In order tot earn profit the sales generated should overcome the breakeven point. The desired profit is $240,000, the sales required to earn the desired profit can be computed using the formula :

Desired sales in units = $\frac{\text{fixed cost + desired cost}}{\text{contribution per unit}}$

                                    $=\frac{480,000+240,000}{40}$

                                    = 18,000 units

Thus, the sales in units required to earn a profit of $ 240,000 are 18,000 units.

3. The sales in excess of the breakeven point would yield a profit on the contrary the sales below the breakeven point would result in a loss.

In the given sales in dollar =  breakeven sales in units x selling price per unit

                                           = 12,000 x 100

                                           = $ 1,200,000

∴ the sales above $1,200,000 would result in a profit whereas the sales below $1,200,000 would result in loss.

The cost volume profit chart below indicates the profit, loss, breakeven at different sales levels :

Sales levels           Result

1,200,000          Breakeven

1,000,000           Loss

800,000             Loss

400,000             Loss

200,000            Loss

4. The income on sale of 16,000 units is computed below :

Particulars                        Amount is $

Sales                                 1,600,000

Less : variable cost           960,000

Contribution                      640,000

Less : Fixed cost               480,000

Profit                                  160,000
